The big finale was the Utopias. Since its release in 2002, this brew has held the title of "world's strongest beer" in the Guinness Book of World Records and is illegal in 11 states. I liked it already.
The 2009 batch is 27% ABV and includes a blend of different ingredients, including some liquids that have been aging in Scotch whiskey barrels for 16 years. It's finished in sherry and port casks from Spain and Portugal.
Utopias is more of a cognac than a beer, it's served room temperature in a snifter and non-carbonated. It has a variety of complex flavors including nuts, oak and aromatic fruitiness, but you can't help but taste the alcohol on top of all of them.
All in all, a very fine after dinner drink, if you can roll with $150++ a bottle!
